POW-R-SWITCHES 1M, 1S

2.1 General Overview

Network devices sometimes lock up, so that communicating with them is impossible. On command, a Pow-R-Switch 1M can switch AC power at up to ten individual Pow-R-Switch 1S modules located throughout your facility. This serves to boot, shut down, or reboot the devices plugged into the Pow-R-Switches 1S.

Each addressable Pow-R-Switch 1S module can be switched ON, switched OFF, or toggled OFF and then back ON. You can link individual modules together across a total end-to-end RS-485 distance of up to 2,000 feet (609.6 m) using 4-wire RJ-11 cable. One Pow-R-Switch 1M module serves as the control unit (address 0) while as many as nine Pow-R-Switches 1S (addresses 1 through 9) serve as satellites.

The Pow-R-Switch 1M’s RS-232 Control Port, which can be connected to a modem, a PC, or one of our Port Manager Switches (product codes SW545A and SW546A), accepts command strings of ASCII characters. Use these command strings to operate the desired Pow-R-Switch 1S module, or send a status command to cause the master unit to display the ON/OFF condition of all modules on the link.

2.2 Features

•

Through the Pow-R-Switch 1M’s RS-232 Control Port (DB25 connector), control your Pow-R-Switch system by modem or directly from a PC.

• Interlink and control up to ten Pow-R-Switches through their RS-485 Link Ports (RJ-11 connectors).

• Build a chain of Pow-R-Switches up to 2000 ft. (609.6 m) long.

• Switch up to 10 amps of AC power on each Pow-R-Switch (5 amps for 230V models).

• Send the units ON, OFF, or Toggle commands.

• Choose the data rate and reboot-cycle duration you want.
